Following the success of the Grande Tour celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Brick Tavern Museum in 2024, the museum will once again offer this rare opportunity to visit all three historic locations on the same day. The special Grande Tour will take place on May 3, 2025. The Historical Society will provide bus transportation, Talkin’ history presentations, light refreshments at each location, and a short music concert at the last stop.
This will be the last time the Society can offer this tour before the capital construction begins. The next opportunity to experience this tour will not be until 2028. So, be sure to grab tickets now!
Guests will be asked to arrive at the Schuyler County Human Services Complex by 12:30 p.m. to check-in. The first stop will be the Brick Tavern Museum with a guided tour, music, and tea time. The second stop will be the Lee School where our schoolmarms will welcome you to your school day! There will be some lessons, followed by a 19th-century school snack. The final stop will be the Lawrence Chapel with a guided tour of the cemetery, a special presentation of the building’s history followed by a sweet treat and a 30-minute concert. All guests will be bused back to the Schuyler County Human Services Complex by 5:15 p.m.
